Ye Zhizhou looked at the contents recorded in the book.
It feels like... Isn't this just reversing all the directions we've settled on before
It seems that there is nothing new except for "reverse"...
"Is this the exclusive secret to Mr. Pei's ability to make successful games forever?"
"Summarize the characteristics of all conventional games on the market, and then deliberately do the opposite, so as to create a freshness that players have never seen before?"
"Uh… "
Ye Zhizhou felt that this idea was a bit outrageous, and felt that it was not only insulting President Pei, but also insulting himself.
If it's so easy to succeed, why do you want to break your head for what kind of game you play every day
But after looking at these points carefully, Ye Zhizhou discovered a new problem.
After some points are reversed, the results are very outrageous.
For example, President Pei asked to make an online horror game.
How to do this!
Two or even multiple people playing horror games together? Is that still scary
There seems to be no such case on the market at all
But on second thought, maybe it is precisely because there are no similar cases on the market that the game made will appear novel enough? Can we form enough topicality
Ye Zhizhou unconsciously fell into the vortex of brain supplementation, and many thoughts kept circling in his mind, making him a little dizzy.
Wang Xiaobin was also obviously dizzy.
He felt that according to President Pei's statement, this game could not be played at all.
Because I have never seen a similar game, how do I do it
"Mr. Pei, can you give me some more tips?"
Pei Qian chuckled in his heart.
Give more hints
It is impossible to prompt for prompts, you can understand it yourself, I can't ask for the game to lose money.
Just as Pei Qian was about to say no, Lin Wan spoke.
"Enough is enough. President Pei has already helped us set the general direction, and the deep meaning of the game is in these tips."
"Considering the game experience in the past few days, you must have the ability to think independently. Don't always be like a baby waiting to be fed, waiting for President Pei to feed the food to his mouth."
Pei Qian: "..."
Director Lin is great!
Speak my heart out.
Wang Xiaobin lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed.
Yes, President Pei has already finalized the general direction. Could it be that we can't even handle these minutiae problems? That would be too sorry for my identity as a designer!
"Then let's think of new ideas." Wang Xiaobin and Ye Zhizhou went back to their respective workstations and started busy.
Pei Qian kept Lin Wan and wanted to briefly talk about otto technology.
Pei Qian had briefed Lin Wan about his job arrangement for Changyou before, but it was only on the phone at that time, and the chat was relatively brief.
Now Pei Qian intends to spend a few minutes to communicate in depth.
After all, Lin Wan is the nominal director of Otto Technology, and his rank is half a level higher than Chang You.
If Lin Wan completely gave up on Otto Technology, even if the phone was broken, Lin Wan would not have too much frustration, and it was even more impossible for him to leave Tenda and go back to inherit the family business.
Pei Qian's ultimate goal is to let Lin Wan also make an "important contribution" to the development of otto technology, so that after the product is smashed, Lin Wan will also feel deeply that he is not this material, plus the Shangyang game The failure made Lin Wan naturally feel a sense of frustration.
"About this Changyou, I know that there are many bad guesses about him in society, especially in the industry, but..."
Pei Qian was a little worried that if Lin Wan and Chang You were at odds, and Lin Wan's phone was broken and all the blame was passed to Chang You, it would still be impossible for her to go back and inherit the family business.
Lin Wan shook his head slightly: "Mr. Pei, you don't have to worry."
"Since it's someone you fancy, I believe he must have something special."
"Now is the Internet age, the age of information explosion, and the age of unprecedented scarcity of information."
"On the Internet, rumors can spread all over the world overnight; however, the voice of refuting rumors is also on the Internet, but no one cares."
"Similarly, on the Internet, 'black material' about a person can be spread overnight. Many people think that they know a person when they see something on the Internet."
"But the real him is covered up by the information on the Internet."
"Although I disagree with many of my dad's views, he has always emphasized that the Internet is not a panacea, and too much information can make people blind. I agree with this."
"I believe that since President Pei chose President Chang as the person in charge of Otto Technology, he must have his own considerations."
"Since President Pei trusts him, then I will definitely trust him as well."
Pei Qian was speechless for a while.
There is nothing to say, all the good things have been said by Lin Wan.
"Well... of course it's the best."
"However, as a director, you are also indispensable in otto technology. Don't treat yourself as an outsider."
Pei Qian was hinting to Lin Wan that she should be more involved in the mobile phone business to properly enhance her sense of participation.
In this way, when the mobile phone is broken, Lin Wan will naturally have the idea of "taking the blame", and even more want to go back to inherit the family business.
Lin Wan nodded: "Mr. Pei, don't worry, I will supervise them on the premise of not interfering excessively with the established development policy of Otto Technology, to ensure that their general development direction is in line with the spirit of Tenda, and they will perform their due responsibilities."
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this. He felt that his employees were cooperating with honey, and all plans were under his control.
…
After watching President Pei leave, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin returned to their workstations and began to scratch their heads.
too difficult!
President Pei has given so many qualifications, what can this game do
The "online game" alone is difficult enough, not to mention that it is clearly required that there should be no plot, no ghosts, and no strong weapon system.
Completely confused.
Before, the two did take over tasks from President Pei, but the tasks were often very simple.
For example, President Pei asked to cut off all the charging points in "Blood War Song", and only keep the most basic one. Ye Zhizhou thought about it for a long time and came up with a "Heavenly Selection System".
This is because the game itself already has a very complete big frame, and Ye Zhizhou only makes small repairs on this big frame.
Later, the mobile game version of "Blood War Song" was the same. The basic structure has not changed, and it is still the familiar set of things, so it is easy to do.
But this time is different.
Horror games, stand-alone games, these are all areas that everyone has never set foot in, and the direction given by President Pei is very vague, naturally a little blind.
As a last resort, the two still looked at Lin Wan.
In speculating about President Pei's intentions, everyone in Shangyang Games is his younger brother.
"Director Lin, please help to think about it, what kind of game does President Pei want us to make?"
Lin Wan casually pulled a chair from the side and sat down. He pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm just a beginner in speculating about President Pei's intentions. Compared with some seniors, I'm still far behind."
"However, I did learn something from Bao Xu."
"I can share it with you."
Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin hurriedly took out the small book and listened intently.
Here comes the point!
What is the core competitiveness of working in Tenda
It is the ability to speculate on President Pei's intentions!
As the helm of the entire Tenda Group, President Pei has always been far-sighted and far-sighted, and at the same time has an exquisite grasp of the market and player psychology.
When Mr. Pei arranges tasks for everyone to make a game, he often has a good idea of the final form of the game, market feedback, etc.
Therefore, whether this project can be done well depends on everyone's understanding of President Pei's intentions.
And now Director Lin shares the way to speculate on President Pei's intentions, which is undoubtedly sharing treasures!
Lin Wan recalled the days when she was working in Tenda's game department, thinking of Bao Xu's many interpretations of President Pei, she had long wanted to summarize all these contents, and now just had this opportunity.
"First of all, we must make sure that President Pei's direction is absolutely correct, and we must do it at all costs."
"You may think this is false, but it is the basis of all reasoning."
"You can take the points given by President Pei as self-evident absolute axioms, and make deductions based on this."
Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin felt a little dizzy, as if they had returned to the days of students taking philosophy classes.
But this is also normal. If such an important thought is too easy to understand, there will be problems.
The two listened carefully.
Lin Wan continued: "When making "Fortress at Sea", Bao Xu started from several axioms given by President Pei, constantly denied the content that was incompatible with the axioms, constantly added content that matched the axioms, and finally perfected the results. The prototype for the entire game."
"Now, we can do the same."
"First, first, and most important, this horror game will be an online game."
"The game elements of multiplayer networking are nothing more than cooperation and confrontation."
"The confrontation is divided into 'confrontation with the game' and 'confrontation with people'. The confrontation with the game is that multiple players solve puzzles together, and the confrontation with people is a repeatable gameplay of the battle type."
"Because President Pei emphasized that there should be no plot, then the road for two or more people to cooperate in solving puzzles will be blocked."
"So, the design direction naturally only has the repeatable gameplay of multiplayer cooperation and confrontation."
"That is, a mode similar to many board games. The time is controlled within ten minutes to two hours. Multiple players participate, each with different purposes, and there is a game mode in which there is cooperation and confrontation with each other."
Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin nodded together.
Such an analysis, I feel much clearer!
In particular, clarifying the goal to a mode similar to a board game, it gave the two people a rough prototype of the game in their minds.
Lin Wan looked at them: "You can try the rest."
Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin looked at each other, it felt a bit like the teacher taught the students to solve the problem, half of the solution was solved, and the rest was left to the students to complete by themselves.
Ye Zhizhou thought about it and said, "Don't have ghosts, there are lunatics at most. This is also a very important clue."
"It's hard to find examples in games, can we turn our attention to movies?"
